Honda CB description

1972 Honda CB175 (2595 miles)

I bought the bike two years ago and did a basic tune up and rebuilt the carburetors. Since then, I rode it for a little bit around town and put some 200 miles. I do not use it that much, therefore I am selling it.
The bike is quite presentable and looks nice. I have kept it original and, since my ownership, there have not been any modifications.
Most of the work I have done to the bike is cosmetic, polishing the fenders, cleaning up parts and repainting others.
There are a few dents on the gas tank and a few scratches on the air filter covers, but nothing major that requires immediate attention.

This is a 40+ year old bike. Therefore, there are no warranties and the bike is sold ‘as-is’. Please, ask any questions before bidding.
Sensible offers will be considered.

Clear NC title.
Owner's manual and tools included

This remarkable shot of Eddie Lawson is taken by Rich Chenet. It was August 1980 and Lawson was undergoing a titanic scrap for the AMA title with Wes Cooley and Freddie Spencer here at Pocono Raceway in Philladelphia. The circuit is known as the 'Tricky Triangle' amongst the NASCAR drivers but the superbikes used a mix of infield and sections of the banked circuit.
